Chapter 153 Selecting the Chairman
Chapter 153 Selecting the Chairman
Lu Mingxuan was asleep when he received a call from Lu Wenguang. With the phone to his ear and his eyes closed, he asked, "Grandpa, what's up? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
Lu Wenguang said on the phone, "I have good news for you. Mr. Song has woken up."
"what?"
Lu Mingxuan was wide awake after hearing Lu Wenguang's words.
"I said Mr. Song has woken up."
After repeating this, Lu Wenguang corrected, "I woke up this morning, which doesn't match the time you said. So I'm right!"
Lu Mingxuan no longer cared who was right. He put on his clothes while returning the phone: "Tell Uncle Song not to move. I'll drive over right away."
Lu Mingxuan put on his clothes, took his keys, and walked out of the villa in the Moon Palace.
He thought about it for a long time last night. If Song Qiao had nowhere to go after leaving the police station, he would take her back to the Moon Palace.
Yesterday, after arguing with Lu Xinjun on the phone, he didn't go back to the hospital but drove to the Moon Palace instead.
With the car in the yard, Lu Mingxuan unlocked the gate with his fingerprint and then drove the car out.
The Moon Palace has three floors and a front and back yard. It was worth over ten million yuan at the time, but now it has risen to twenty million yuan. So, Zhao Xiaoya basically lost money when she sold the house.
After driving out of the Moon Palace, Lu Mingxuan returned to the hospital, took advantage of his day off to ask for a wheelchair, put it in the trunk, and drove out of the city.
It's wonderful that Song Jianguo has woken up.
Lu Mingxuan really wanted to see the meeting at eight o'clock, but when Jiang Ming saw the person walking into the meeting room, his expression was even more disgusting than if he had eaten shit.
While driving, Lu Mingxuan checked the time on his phone. It was already five in the morning, which was a reasonable time to call Zhang Hua.
He dialed Zhang Hua's number, and a lazy voice came from the other end: "Lu Mingxuan, do you know what time I went to bed last night? I don't care about the cases here, I still have cases in Kyoto, could you..."
"Alright! What are you nagging about? It's already five o'clock. I got up at four, you slept an hour longer than me, and you're still complaining?" Lu Mingxuan said on the phone.
Hearing this, Zhang Hua's sleepiness vanished, irritated by Lu Mingxuan: "Speak, what do you want?"
Lu Mingxuan said, "Song Qiao's father has woken up, and I'm on my way to Yushan to pick him up. Now that Jiang Ming can no longer be the chairman of the urban construction company, will he drag his feet on not getting a divorce?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hua pondered for a moment and said, "That's very possible."
"What should we do then? Think of a way to get him to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. I'm afraid he'll hurt Qiaoqiao again," Lu Wenxuan said worriedly.
Zhang Hua thought for a moment and said, "There's only one way to get him to sign the divorce agreement smoothly: find Jiang Xiaoran, or Song Qiao's biological daughter, and sue Jiang Ming for extortion and abandonment!"
"But Jiang Xiaoran has been searching for her, and there's still no trace of her."
"What about Song Qiao's biological daughter? It would be good if we could find her."
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Zhang Hua asked.
Lu Mingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I understand! I'll take Song Qiao to find the child after she comes out. I already know where the child is."
"That would be even better. If the child is found, Jiang Ming won't be able to escape."
The two ended their call, and Lu Mingxuan drove back to Yushan, where his grandfather lived, just as dawn was breaking.
Jiangcheng Urban Construction Company.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ming was already waiting in the conference room. The vice president, the department head, and Liu Juan, the finance director who had just returned to the company yesterday, walked in one after another and sat on both sides of the conference table.
At 8:10, Jiang Ming looked at Wang Lianhe. Feng Hongjun and Zhang Baoguo had not yet arrived. Only Zhang Xiaodong was sitting there all alone.
People who used to address him as "General Manager Zhang" would pretend they didn't see him.
Jiang Ming looked at Zhang Xiaodong with a mocking expression, wondering where he got the courage to sit here.
Jiang Ming checked the time, 8:15, looked up at the people on both sides of the table and said, "Those who are not here will be considered to have automatically forfeited. Let's begin the meeting!"
Zhang Xiaodong also looked down and reminded Jiang Ming, "It's only 8:15 now. Isn't the morning meeting always at 8:30?"
Jiang Ming looked at Zhang Xiaodong: "Who's in charge here, you or me?"
Zhang Xiaodong, showing no fear of Jiang Ming's bullying attitude, said, "Before you announce the chairman's position, your word doesn't count."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming slammed his hand on the table: "Zhang Xiaodong, I hereby announce that you have been dismissed from the Urban Construction Company!"
Zhang Xiaodong stood up and asked, "Give me a reason? Why are you firing me? Or should I sue you at the labor commission president's office!"
When Jiang Ming heard Zhang Xiaodong openly agree with him, he nodded: "Okay! Then you can stay at the Urban Construction Company for another ten minutes. By 8:30, you're fired!"
Just as Jiang Ming was spouting nonsense, Wang Lianhe, Zhang Baoguo, and Feng Hongjun walked in: "What's going on? Why are you banging on the table before the meeting has even started?"
Jiang Ming looked up at Wang Lianhe, who was speaking: "Wasn't I already fired you yesterday? What are you doing here? Security!"
Wang Lianhe looked at Jiang Ming and stopped him with his hand, saying, "Even if your position as chairman hasn't been announced in a minute, I won't leave, because your word doesn't count."
Hearing this, Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and nodded: "Fine! What's wrong with waiting until 8:30?"
Since last night, the four of them have been discussing how to get Jiang Ming to delay the meeting until the afternoon. Song Qiao will come out after three o'clock, and by then, Jiang Ming will have wasted his time.
"President Jiang, since you're running for chairman, let's settle some accounts while Chairman Song is still in office. We want to know where each sum of money went."
Jiang Ming looked at Wang Lianhe and remained silent in anger. He didn't want to deal with him right now. He wanted to wait until the election results were in before teaching these people who annoyed him a lesson.
"Chairman Song, if you don't clarify things, your appointment cannot be issued for the time being. You need to understand this."
Feng Hongjun, seeing Jiang Ming's arrogant attitude, gave him a reminder.
"Do I need you to remind me of anything? Song Qiao is no longer the chairman of this construction company. Go ask her about the past."
"President Jiang, you're not right to say that. Although you are the Song family's son-in-law, Chairman Song hasn't made a decision yet. It's not appropriate for you to take the initiative like this."
Jiang Ming looked at the three people sitting next to Zhang Xiaodong: "I am participating in the election according to the procedure. If you have any objections, you can raise your opinions after the election results are released."
Jiang Ming had already sensed that Wang Lianhe was stalling for time, but he was determined not to let his scheme succeed. He sneered inwardly and said: "You old guys, the first thing I'll do after I take office is fire you."
"There's no rush for the election. I think we should wait until this afternoon. If Chairman Song doesn't come back, we can hold the election then!"
